Tyson Walker - Scores 14 in win Walker totaled 14 points (6-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one rebound and three assists across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 67-58 win over Penn State.

Impact Walker still isn't the most efficient scorer with a 43.8% from the floor through 10 games but he's scored under double-digits on just two occasions. The Spartans could struggle to compete with other strong teams unless Walker can work this out.

A.J. Hoggard - Scores 23 points Hoggard ended with 23 points (8-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 67-58 win over Penn State.

Impact Michigan State wanted to demote someone so Jaden Akins could be a part of the team's starting lineup. Hoggard proved why it should not be him. He was Michigan State's best scorer Wednesday, and so Pierre Brooks seems more like the option expected to be demoted for Akins.
